4 Kiss On tho Shoulder.

On one occasion 1 was to dine with him at the house of Mme Edmond Adam, who is the editress of the Nou- velle ReUue and who has one of the most fashionable salons in Paris. Gen. Gaiffet was late. He finally arrived at 7:15 and advanced toward the hostess, who was standing near the mantel- piece,
 Mime. Adam wore beautiful dress of black velvet, with very decollete cor sage, above which her brunette beauty shone like a marble of Pradier's.
 Galiifet advanced, bowed, and said with admiration:
 ''Sapristi! Those beautiful shoul- dcrsy' And then, in too stiff and soldierly a manner perhaps, he bent over and lightly printed kiss on her right shoulder.
 Mme. Edmond Adam grew rosy with indignation and slapped the general S face.
 This did not trouble him in the least He bowed again with infinite respect and, with a gesture of admirable fa- tuity. said:
 Since know the price?" And kissed the other shoulder Fran 1 cisco Ln9teSide.

rao Conrea sfacy's H.ddsn Treasure


 Just before the late war closed the Weed building. on Second street. was filled mi;h goll and silver coin beloug- ing to the confedcracy The treasure was qua ded night and day by home company. composed of citizens too old or otherwise unfit for the regular army. In this company were two brothers, whose homes were in an ad- joining county, but who had refugced. with their families, to. Macon. One dark night. when the rain poured down in torrents and the guards sought refuge in what was then the Methodist book depository, the two brothers. who were among the guards. told their comrades they would keep guard in the rain. While the others were being sheltered from the rain the two men effected an entrance into the building and secured keg of the gold, which they managed to carry of under cover of the intense darkness and secrGte. 1 4his gold was buried on a subsequent night on the land belonging to the | brothers. When the war closed they { soug t to dig up the treasure, but 1t ! could not be found. They cIrld only | dig at night for fear of being watched l by their neighbors, but after q long 1 search they failed to find the money. ! Two years ago the money was fcrnd several hundred yards from the locality at which they had looked for it years ago. They had nistak Il the panel of fence that marked the spot. The brothers divided the money and went west 10 live, and are now enjoying life.
 Col. William B. Johnson, who nad charge of the money of tue coniederacy in Macon, is inclined to discredit the story fer the reason that nouo of the money was missing. He says Mir. Memminger. secretary of the treasury, ordered $3.5O0, 600 in coin to be sent from Montgomery to Macon. Socn aft erward $1,0G0,000 was drawn to be sent 10 Nassau to pay for arms, blan- kets. etc. The coin was put up in strong keys, which held each $50, ,O0C in gold. TAe silver kegs held $5.O00 eacn. Several months before Gen. Wilson reached the city the coin was ordered 10 Columbia, s. C., where there was depository, and from there to the army. The treasure was guard ed on it's way to Columbia by thirty citizens of Macon, who brought bac, a receipt for every keg.-Mdc0H Goa. Telegraph.

A Singular Fatality.

In the extracts from Gen. Grants book of Personal Memoirs" recently given in the dispatches there is an ac- count of his meeting at Appomattox with Gen. Lee to arrange the terms of surrender of the forces under the lat ter's command. Gen. Grant says: ''lt occurred at the house of a man named Mclean who was q confederate gen eral. This is a mistake. Winner Mclean, the person referred to, was not in the southern army at all. He was non-com batant and over the age for conscription at the time of the war. He must. however, have thought there was fatality attending his movements. as he involuntarily witnessed the first battle of Bull run and the close of the war at Appomattox. He was native of Alexandria, Va, who, after being engaged tor so9nc :.Ine III puSiness n that town--lha firm of Kerr x Mclean, wholesale and retail grocers. was years ago well known throughout the sur rounding country-moYed out near Manassas and engaged in farming. His house vas taken by Gen. Beaure- gard as his headquarters previous to and after the battle of Bull run. Me- Lean moved away from the place after the fight and purchased another place at Appomattox, for the express pur- pose of removing his family from the scene of war. Instead, however, of succeeding in this the warlike opera tions shifted to his immediate neigh borhood, and his own house was again occupied for military purposes. It has become famous in history, and the name of its owner, with ali his reluct- ance to be connected with the war, and his endeayor to escape from it. is in- deiibly associated with the closing scene of the great drama. Il he table on which the terms of surrender were drawn by Gen. Grant, accepted by Gen. Lee, and signed by them, WAS pur- chased by Gen. Ord, and was a con- 1 spicious article of furniture in his par Tor at his house at Black point when l that officer was in command of this
 mi.ita4s department. The general al-
 ways called the attention of visitors tu

BulIyi in ti.s House of Commons

There is TO ordeal of bullying more severe than that of the House of Com mons. Out of about $50 gentlemen who would not incur the expense and trouble of getting into Parliament if they did not covet distinction there are not more tllan 50 who arhieye distinc- ton, ani the rest-the 600--;,re silent voters. Why are so many doomed to ofsc g. ' at Westminster? How is it that not quite 10 per cent. of the mem- bers get the ear oi the Honse? On the average the sileut 6J0 could speak just as well as the talking 50. Nay, among the silent 6J0 are several who prove by their speaking elsewhere that they arc better orators than most of the 50 talk CTS. It is the bullying that causes their utter failure at Westminster. A very inferior mem Der will get the ear of the House if he is not cowed by bullying, and the most gifted member will be q nobody at Westminster if he is not cowed by bullying How Lord Bea- consfield was bullied! The bullying be- gan with his first speech. and it was continued almost 10 the end of his ca- reer. 1 do not refer to hostile criti- ciSm, which, however unjust, yehe- ment. and interruptions, is not bully ing. l refer to the sneering, jeering, and insolent yelping. How heriocally he endured il! He was not insensitiye, but he had the wonderful courage to appear impassive in the hour of defeat, and to seem indifferent to the singing of ungenerous and ungracious inso- lence. It is to be observed that he had not the advantage of public school training, but he was one of those rare men who triumph over disadvantages. On, silent six hundred, if you had a tthe of the capacity of Ben njamn Dis raeli to endure bullying, at least 550 of you woHid be takers. Oh, what a boon tnal would be to the nation! Then only the necessary business of the country would be done, and We should be spared any more doctoring and tinker ing ItnsIey's suaqazitte.

A Talking Piano.

A representative of the 'Societo Anon Des Vienna" has arrived in New York with talking piano. The piano consists of 8 representation of the head and face of lsa with rather large mouth and tongue. The iarynx and facial organs are perfectly constructed, and bellows serves as the lungs. The bellows is worked by the feet, and fourteen letters of the alphabet are on !; key board like that of a piano. The keys are played upon, and the mouth opens. The tones can be modulatcd quickly or slowly and the movements of the rubber mouth and the tongue are similar to natural ones. The sounds of a number of let ters not upon the keyboard are pro- duced by partly closing or opening the larynx. For instance, ''l'' is produced by closing the larynx somewhat and striking ''D.' The machine, as was acknowledged this morning by the ex- hibitor, can be of no practical value except for study of the voice and for the purposes of exhibition. The same machine was privately exhibited a number of years ago.
